Henley & Partners is the global leader in residence and citizenship planning. Each year, hundreds of wealthy individuals and their advisors rely on our expertise and experience in this area. Our highly qualified professionals work together as one team in over 45 offices worldwide.
The concept of residence and citizenship planning was created by Henley & Partners in the 1990s. As globalization has expanded, residence and citizenship have become topics of significant interest among the increasing number of internationally mobile entrepreneurs and investors whom we proudly serve every day.
Trusted by governments, the firm also runs a leading government advisory practice that has raised more than USD 12 billion in foreign direct investment. We have been involved in strategic consulting and the design, set-up, and operation of the world’s most successful residence and citizenship programs.
While its origins date back more than 45 years, Henley & Partners as it is today was formed in 1997 as a result of a merger between a private client immigration consultancy and a fiduciary company. The group companies, as well as most of our individual partners, directors, and senior officers, are, where applicable, regulated by the respective authorities in their countries of operation. They are also members of various professional associations such as the Investment Migration Council, the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, The International Tax Planning Association, the International Fiscal Association, and the Fédération Internationale des Administrateurs de Biens Conseils et Agents Immobiliers.
We provide a range of services that are essential to protecting and growing our clients’ wealth. However, as we often act as close advisors to our clients, we intentionally refrain from offering investment advice or asset management. In these sectors, we work with many of the world’s leading banks and most successful investment managers.
Henley & Partners office in Montenegro was established in November 2018. During the implementation of the Montenegrin Citizenship by Investment Program by the Government of Montenegro, over the four years of its operations, we have submitted over 500 applications. The Program has generated over EUR 500 million for the Montenegrin economy, an achievement especially significant in the post-COVID period, and it aided the construction of tens of hotels, particularly in the underdeveloped northern region of the country. The Program has situated itself as a prominent presence in the investment migration sphere, thanks to the Government’s decision to implement a robust due diligence procedure that each applicant is required to pass.
We are especially proud to have brought world-class global talents and leading innovators in the field of ICT and AI, to Montenegro. Through their visits, the best universities and the best companies worldwide are now permanently linked to Montenegro. The recognition of such individuals and their integration into Montenegro marks the true success of the Montenegrin Citizenship by Investment program, in addition to the obvious economic contributions and the advancement of development projects in all areas of the country. The important role of Henley & Partners has been amplified through our longstanding partnerships with crucial entities, such as the Montenegrin Foreign Investors Council and AmCham Montenegro.
